IT WAS ‘ONE OF THE WORST BIOLOGICAL
DISASTERS IN AMERICAN HISTORY,’ ONE
SCHOLAR WROTE
On
Aug. 30, 1954, Bernice E. Eddy, a veteran scientist at the National Institutes
of Health in Bethesda, Md., was checking a batch of a new polio vaccine for
safety.
Created
by Jonas Salk, the vaccine was hailed as the miracle drug that would conquer
the dreaded illness that killed and paralyzed children. Eddy’s job was to
examine samples submitted by the companies planning to make it.
Something was wrong. “There’s going to
be a disaster,” she told a friend.
As
scientists and politicians desperately search for medicines to slow the
deadly coronavirus, and
as President Trump touts
a malaria, HCQ, drug as a remedy, a look
back to the 1955 polio vaccine tragedy shows how hazardous such a search can
be, especially under intense public pressure.
Despite
Eddy’s warnings, an estimated 120,000 children that year were injected with the
Cutter vaccine, according to Paul A. Offit, director of the Vaccine Education
Center at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.
Roughly 40,000 got “abortive” polio,
with fever, sore throat, headache, vomiting and muscle pain. Fifty-one were
paralyzed, and five died,
Offit wrote in his 2005 book, “The Cutter Incident: How America’s
First Polio Vaccine Led to the Growing Vaccine Crisis.”
It was “one of the worst biological
disasters in American history: a man-made polio epidemic,” Offit wrote.
In
those days, polio, or infantile paralysis, was a terror.
“A
national poll … found that polio was second only to the atomic bomb as the
thing that Americans feared most,” Offit wrote.
In
1951, Jonas Salk of the University of Pittsburgh’s medical school received a
grant from the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis to find a vaccine. During intense months of
research, he took live polio virus and killed it with formaldehyde until it was
not infectious but still provided virus-fighting antibodies.
When
tests showed that the vaccine was safe, Salk told his wife, “I’ve got it,”
Offit wrote. Word of his success soon leaked out. Public pressure grew for the
vaccine and for a large-scale trial.
In 1953, Salk tested it on himself,
his wife and three children.
The gutsy — possibly
crazy — scientists who risked death testing vaccines on themselves
On
April 26, 1954, Randy Kerr, a 6-year-old second-grader from Falls Church, Va.,
stood in the cafeteria of the Franklin Sherman Elementary School in McLean and
became the first to be vaccinated in a massive field study.
Salk’s vaccine was given to 420,000
children. A placebo was given to 200,000. And 1.2 million were given nothing.
The
study found that children who did not get the vaccine were three times more
likely to be paralyzed with polio than those who received the vaccine.
A
year later, on April 12, 1955, when officials announced the results at a news
conference at the University of Michigan, there was jubilation. Reporters
hollered: “It works! It works!” Offit wrote.
The
news made front-page headlines across the country. “People wept,” Offit said.
“There were parades in Jonas Salk’s honor. … That’s what contributed to the
tragedy of Cutter more than anything else … the irony.”
That
same day, licenses were hurriedly granted to several drug companies, including
Cutter Laboratories, to make the vaccine.
But the officials granting the licenses
were never told of Eddy’s findings, Offit wrote.
The
year before, Eddy’s scrutiny of the Cutter vaccine had continued through the
summer and fall.
It
must have been a difficult time. She was 52. Her husband, Jerald Guy Wooley,
64, a fellow National Institutes of Health scientist, had died suddenly the
previous April, leaving her with three daughters, two of them still at home in
Bethesda, according to his obituary. Her mother moved in to help out.
Eddy
was born in 1903 in Glen Dale, W.Va., a small town on the Ohio River, south of
Wheeling, according to a 1985 biographical sketch by Elizabeth Moot O’Hern. Her
father was a doctor.
She had started at NIH in 1937, had headed
testing of vaccines for influenza, and in 1954 was asked to help test the Salk polio vaccine. The
pressure was intense. “For weeks she and her staff worked around-the-clock,
seven days a week,” O’Hern wrote.
“This
was a product that had never been made before, and they were going to use it
right away,” Eddy had said.
She began testing Cutter’s samples in
August 1954 and continued through November, according to a later report in the
Congressional Record. She found that three of the six samples paralyzed test
monkeys.
“What do you think is wrong with these
monkeys?” she asked a colleague, Offit recounted.
“They were given polio,” the colleague
replied.
“No,” Eddy said. “They were given the …
vaccine.”
Eddy’s discovery suggested that
Cutter’s manufacturing process was flawed. Its vaccine should have contained
only killed virus.
She reported her findings to William
Workman, head of the NIH Laboratory of Biologics Control.
But amid the scientific and
bureaucratic chaos, Workman never told the licensing committee, Offit wrote.
Starting
on the evening of April 12, 1955, batches of the Salk vaccine made by five drug
firms were shipped out in boxes marked “POLIO VACCINE: RUSH.”
About 165,000 doses of Cutter’s went
out.
Within weeks, reports of mysterious
polio infections started coming in.
On April 27, 7-year-old Susan Pierce,
of Pocatello, Idaho, died of polio days after getting the Cutter vaccine. She had been placed in an iron lung
just before she died. Her brother Kenneth had been vaccinated at the same time,
but he was okay.
Other
cases followed.
Alton Ochsner, a professor of surgery at
Tulane Medical School and founder of the Ochsner Clinic in New Orleans, gave
the vaccine to his grandson Eugene Davis, Offit wrote. The child died May 4.
Not only did some people injected with
the tainted vaccine get sick, but some who got the vaccine went on to infect
family members and neighbors.
On June 5, 1955, 33-year-old Annabelle
Nelson of Montpelier, Idaho, died of polio after her two children had been
given the vaccine in April, according to news reports at the time.
The government ordered the Cutter
vaccine withdrawn on April 27. But damage had been done.
“By April 30, within forty-eight hours
of the recall,” Offit wrote. “Cutter’s vaccine had paralyzed or killed
twenty-five children: fourteen in California, seven in Idaho, two in
Washington, one in Illinois, and one in Colorado.”
On
May 6, all polio vaccinations were postponed. They were resumed on May 15 after
the government had rechecked the vaccines for safety. But people were still
frightened.
Offit
recalled his mother asking their doctor: “What’s the story? Should we be
getting this vaccine or not?"
Eventually,
he was vaccinated when he was about 6 years old.
Years later, in a suit brought against
Cutter, the firm was found not negligent in making its vaccine because it had
done its best making a new drug that was complicated to produce.
But it was found financially liable for
the calamity it had caused during that spring of 1955.
The
jury foreman said: “Cutter Laboratories [brought] to market a … vaccine which
when given to plaintiffs caused them to come down with polio.”

The 1976 Swine Flu and propaganda, this reminds me of the current Measles hysteria.
2) The vaccine killed hundreds of people and permanently maimed/injured several thousands in America.
3) The public was NOT warned about the possible permanent neurological sicknesses that could result from taking the shot.
4) The CDC knew that the shot was dangerous but did NOT put thisinformation on the waivers that people would sign before getting the shot.
5) The entire vaccine campaign was ordered and started before any confirmed case of swine flu was actually found.
6) The actual only confirmed flu case that was deadly (and this is dubious since the soldier refused a sick bed order), was one soldier who had the flu and collapsed on a forced march, all other soldiers, four of them, were back to normal within days without getting a shot.
7) The CDC freely used the names of well-known movie stars without their permission to launch the campaign successfully, including Mary Tyler Moore.
8) Mary Tyler Moore did not take the shot, although the CDC said she did. She wisely said “NO” because she suspected it was not healthy. Her doctor ultimately agreed.
9) Dr. Sencer, head of the CDC at the time, ordered the campaign as well as the advertising for it, and not once was any danger mentioned in any of the literature!
10) The CDC lied to the public to sell a vaccination campaign, and Mike Wallace nailed the head in this interview, as Dr. Sencer is left squirming in his chair!
